My prayers to the Curcie and Jones Families. So sorry for your loss. May you enjoy your beautiful lifetime memories of Loretta.
My deepest sympathies to the Curci family. I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one in death is a devastating experience, and it can leave us crushed in spirit. However, at Isaiah 57:15, here Almighty God Jehovah says, ‘I reside in the high and holy place, but also with those crushed and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of those being crushed.’ God notices your suffering, and through his purpose he has provided a beautiful resurrection hope that you can have faith in. (John 5:28,29)
I am forever grateful, thank you for all the support and love you shared with us. Rest in peace, Madam.
